LAK15 Airport Shuttle FAQ

Where do I get the shuttle at the airport?

Detailed information on LAK15 Airport Shuttle pick-up locations as well as important shuttle procedures is now available online.

How long is the ride from the airport to LAK15 hotels?

Travel time from the airports to the LAK15 hotels will vary based on the airport you arrive at and traffic conditions but in general should be approximately 2 hours.

How was the LAK15 shuttle schedule determined?

The LAK15 airport shuttle schedule was determined using survey data on arrival and departure times collected from over 120 LAK15 attendees prior to the conference. All attendees who registered for the conference prior to mid-February were invited to complete the survey so that their travel plans could be factored into the schedule. Analytical tools, including a dashboard, were used to analyze this data and determine a schedule that minimized wait times as much as possible.

Once I register, could my shuttle time be canceled?

No, we will only cancel a shuttle if no one registers for it by the March 10, 2015 deadline.

How long will the shuttle's wait if I'm running late?

Shuttles will only be able to wait 5-10 minutes past their scheduled pick-up time due to Port Authority Police parking regulations and to ensure we arrive at hotels at our scheduled times. Once you register for the LAK15 shuttle you will receive a confirmation email that will include a phone number you can call for assistance if you encounter a delay while traveling.

What is the average wait time once I land?

In vast majority of cases, wait times between when you arrive at the airport and the shuttle departs should be under 2-hours. In a few cases we have only 1-2 attendees arriving very early in the morning who may need to wait 4+ hours for the first shuttle to depart. We apologize for any inconvenice this may cause.

Are there things to do at the airport while I wait?

Yes, all of the area airports have food courts, shopping and Wi-Fi (fee require: $8.00 US per 24-hours). You can find information on these services and activities on the airport web site at:
